sore throat

by ladyjack96, Jun 01, 2007 12:00AM
My throat has been feeling raw the last 3 days. My tounge also feels raw and swollen way in the back. It hurts to swallow and even talk. I may have, what appears to look like, a little white blister. I dont have any cold or flu syptoms. What could this be?

Hi,

The symptoms you have could all be because of the upper respiratory tract infection or tonsillitis.

You should try some warm saline gargles and steam inhalation and see if it helps with your symptoms.

'You should take steps to relieve pain and inflammation. Recovery may take a
week or two.

    * Drink warm, soothing liquids — such as soup, broth and tea.
    * Gargle with warm salt water.
    * Take acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others)
to help reduce fever and decrease pain.

Consult your doctor so that appropriate antibiotics and other symptomatic treatment can be prescribed.

You could read more about this at the following link -

Let us know how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.

Regards.
